Project Fractal
Monkey
Monkey
You will, of course, already be familiar with our
cloning service. Small Monkey Production's crack
team of scientists have been working round the
clock to bring new and innovative ways to mess with
your moral compass, and up until now we thought
we'd been doing quite well. But sometimes, you just
get lucky, and this is one of those times.

As a by-product of our cloning research, combined with the initial results of another
highly secretive program developing some sort of ninja-strong growth serum, we have
stumbled upon possibly the greatest discovery of the 21st Century: Fractal Monkeys.

As can clearly been seen from these amazing
photographs, it turns out that some Small
Monkey are actually an average sort of size.
This in itself was interesting, but nothing
compared to the revelation that in very rare
instances, and with healthy doses of
'vitamins*', some Small Monkeys could,
contrary to all previous expectations, be frikkin
huge. More than that, it is also obvious that
this monkey posse exhibits a high degree of
self-similarity; they are Fractal.

Research is ongoing, but some initial calculations have been made in an attempt to
determine the fractal dimension of these monkeys. This has, in turn, led to a further
astounding discovery; not only are these monkeys fractal, but due to their habit of
oscillating, leaping, and generally 'monkeying' around, they are actually utilising more
space than their mere 3 dimensional forms would suggest. Yes indeed, these
monkeys are exhibiting a fractal dimension that is greater than the usual 3. Far
from exhibiting the properties of a 2 dimensional manifold folded in such a way as to
use 3 dimensional space, these little (and not-so-little) critters are showing signs of a
quantum indeterminism brought about by their rapid movement which causes them to
require approximately 3.65 dimensions to express their exuberance in. The
existence of some sort of 'monkey-field' is postulated which may explain this
phenomenon, and is also expected to have wide-reaching implications for the wider
field of particle physics and the Higgs boson.

Our scientists will continue to work on this exciting new project, and hope for further
breakthroughs before the year is out...

| It can be assumed that for any fractal object (of size P, made up of smaller units of size p), the number of units (N) that fits into the larger object is equal to the size ratio (P/p) raised to the power of d, which is called the Hausdorff dimension. Knowing this will not impress girls. |
